About this listen
My instincts had always served me well. Listening to my gut, the warning voice in my head that told me when to walk away. I never failed to heed the signs.
Until the day she walked into my office.
I knew she would be trouble, but I ignored the alarm bells. And then it was too late, and I fell. Hard.
A lie tore us apart, and I thought I’d lost her forever. But now she’s back- with a secret she’s been keeping.
This time, I’m not letting her go.
©2021 Moreland Books Inc (P)2022 Moreland Books IncThe continued narration by Maxine Mitchell and John Lane just add so many feels to the story, it's incredible. I love this team, their professionalism shows with the way they choose their voices and bring out the emotions they both have. From the chemistry, to the fear, to the love, it's all there and absolutely wonderful.
Love this series!

This series is set in the world of Hidden Justice, an under ground agency set up to rescue victims of organised crime & deal with the organisation behind the atrocities. Just like all the stories in this series The Commander is relationship driven & the setting is the scaffolding. By that I mean it's not the the focus, so if like me you're not a Mafia romance fan you are still going to love reading The Commander.
Julian, The Commander, he's in charge, running the operation. He is a very alpha male. Very in control, passionate, protective, detail oriented. Just hawt!
Taliyah Wells is trying to make her dreams come true. To make something of her life after a traumatic, sad start. Tally is a strong, independent woman alone in the world until she bursts into Julian's office to interview for the secretarial post.
When Julian lets his heart rule his head, something he's never done before, and offers Tally the post. His whole well controlled exterior begins to crack.
I can't tell you how much I loved this story. It is the icing on the Hidden Justice cake.
John Lane as Julian and Maxine Mitchell as Tally are just fab, as they always are. I really could listen to them all day.
The icing on the cake

I enjoyed listening to this one as much as I enjoyed book 1 and 2.
The narrators did a great job.
The first meeting between Julian and Tally was really unexpected for him, but she came and stayed in his life.
But both kept secrets which led to Tally's disappearance.
The story is very captivating and I didn't want to press the pause-button.

This series captured my attention from the start and Matteo and Marcus will forever own a piece of my heart, Julian however, well he took me on a rollercoaster ride and had me hooked on his incredibly emotional/beautiful journey after catching glimpses him in book one and two.
Julian and Tally’s chemistry was off the scale from the start, however, the two had to work hard for not only what they needed but what they deserved.
Julian is the man behind the scenes of hidden justice, the man with a plan and all the rules and Julian is a stickler for the rules, that is until he meets Tally.
Tally is a smart, loyal, driven woman who turns Julian’s world upside down and has him not only breaking the rules but demolishing them. The road to their HEA is a rocky one filled with lots of ups and downs and twists and turns, but Melanie Moreland has a way of giving her characters the ending they deserve even if it turns us readers inside out to get there.
Maxine Mitchell and John Lane are back for this amazing conclusion to what has been a truly captivating series.
I really love this pairing; they are a narrating dream team. John’s deep, commanding tone is perfect to portray commander Julian and Maxine’s beautifully smooth tone conveys Tally’s strength, resilience, and her vulnerabilities phenomenally.
Overall, I loved this audiobook. It was not only the story Julian deserved but also the most incredible conclusion to what has been an amazing series.
If you love sexy alpha protective men who bring all the chemistry, hot Dads, second chance romances and perfect HEA’s then this is the book for you.
An amazing conclusion to a perfect series

While I appreciated the story and the way it played out, Tally's actions really upset me overall. All's well that ends well and the story ended beautifully but I couldn't get over her actions or even her intent. That's the reason for the 4 stars for the story.
That said, this is a must read- this whole series, actually. The interconnectedness of the main characters and how the stories and this series resolves made me so happy.
For my second "read" of this series, I listened to the audiobook. John Lane's gruff's voice and Maxine Mitchell's smooth voice were perfect for Julian and Tally. And the way they could control their voices to play the multiple parts truly brought me into the story. A wonderful reading by a great narration team.
And, another great series by Melanie Moreland!
Great narration for a wonderful story

Anyway, this is the third book in the Men of Hidden Justice series featuring Julian Grayson - the enigmatic, Commander of the group of covert, baddie-busting elite squad the series is named for. But, as always, fear not if this will be your first book in the series, or even of Moreland’s at all, as this book stands completely alone, follows a new couple and you don’t need to have read, or listened to, the other books in the series to understand and enjoy this one.
As I’ve mentioned, our hero is Julian. He’s in charge, he’s a little bit aloof and he’s used to being alone. Oh and he’s grumpy and arrogant - thinking he knows what’s best. And from the moment he meets Taliyah - Tally - he’s obsessively smitten and desperately trying not to be. Oh even now it makes me giddy thinking of how the mighty will fall! And as I mentioned, he is voiced by the growly voiced, John Lane. He does such a good job of Julian. He’s got a deep, authoritative voice that you believe every word he says. Even when voicing a conversation between Julian and Tally - he’s clear about who’s who - making it very easy to follow.
Tally is voiced by Maxine Mitchell and as Tally is the perfect match for Julian, Maxine is the perfect narrator as Tally. Tally has a great blend of similarities with him as well as differences with Julian; She, too, is something of a loner, a kindred spirit that Julian immediately recognises. She’s determined and a fighter and once she’s comfortable, she’s never afraid to say what’s what. And her desire for organisation was just the cherry on the top for me. A girl after my own heart! Maxine has something of a lower, almost gravelly voice but still in a very feminine way. I believed her both as the scared version of Tally, and as the take no prisoners version.
I loved Julian and Tally together and even though their passion was evident and hot - it gave me more smouldering vibes than burn-the-house-down ones. That’s definitely not a problem and I did get those lovely jumpy butterflies in my tummy during their sex scenes. In the quieter times, I really enjoyed seeing Julian become touchy-feely, loving and tactile with Tally. It spoke to a deeper connection which I always love to see in my romances. The real feels that I always associate with Ms Moreland’s writing.
With regards to the story itself, as I’ve come to expect, Melanie Moreland delivers. I was 100% absorbed in this tale and I loved every second. I also have to say that I full-on laughed out loud on occasion, too. It was unexpected but so nice to have.
While there’s no overarching ‘big bad’ in this story as there was in the first two books in the series - there’s still a small element of suspense and danger. It’s not too scary (for a card-carrying wuss like me) and it really was connected to the story and in some way affected the love story of Julian and Tally.
I’m not sure if this will be the end of the Hidden Justice books but I’ve loved every single one of them for different reasons. This book has a different angle to it what with the secret baby, capture his fleeing wife thing going on. Even though I’ve read the book prior to listening to the audio, I was still so absorbed in the story that I listened to it in record time. All in all, I had a great time with this book and I wouldn’t happily recommend it and give it the full 5 stars for the story, the narrators and their performance.
An amazing romance brought to life

Tally has escaped a dangerous past and all she wants is to keep a low profile and live her life. It is only a matter of time before the chemistry between her and Julian ignites however their happiness is short-lived when she realizes she never really knew him at all. When fate brings them together once again Julian wants a second chance, but will he be able to convince her?
The love and chemistry between them was never in question however Julian’s determination to protect Tally causes turmoil and he has a few important lessons to learn if they are to find their way back to each other. The narrators were a great match for the characters as they brought out the protector in Julian as well as the strength and resilience in Tally.
Julian and Tally!
